How can I watch the Orioles without getting MASN or Verizon? I’m willing to break the law.

If you are in the viewing region of MASN the Os games will be blacked out on MLB TV.
MLB talks about how they want to grow the game and reach new audiences and then turn around and continue to use archaic blackout restrictions.

Direct TV user in FL. I had no idea. Also, seems like more red tape and hurdles for me. Wasted the last 15 mins getting nowhere. My renewal probably already hit anyways.

Yup.i haven't watched an Os game on TV in about 5 years thanks to masns bullshit.
The NFL plays a vast majority of their games over the air and the ones that aren't are easily accessible on widely used streaming services.
Meanwhile MLB allows shit like MASN to exist and blacks out games.
When I lived 2 miles from the stadium I had no ways to watch the Os without satellite or cable.
I went from watching about 90% of Os games a season to watching 0 games in a matter of a few years and now my 6 and 3 year old never see Os games and likely will grow up with very little connection to baseball.
So we'll done MASN and MLB you are killing your own fucking sport you morons.

Hopefully the fallout from Bally Sports going bankrupt will make MLB rethink the way the sport is broadcast and how they do broadcast rights, it is evident it isn't working. Buuuuut its MLB so zero shot they even think anything is wrong.

They are going to realize in 10 or 20 years when their viewership is abysmally low. Baseball is already a hard sell to kids who grew up with constant access to everything. Goos luck getting them to buy MLB packages to watch a slow paced technical game.

I’d love to know, if you don’t mind!😬

Even though the are issues watching Orioles games T-Mobile also gives away MLB TV through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app in case anyone has them and wants it for free.

I wonder how many years in a row this thread will continue to exist in March on the Orioles and Baltimore subreddit

DirectTV stream is the only streaming service that offers MASN. Otherwise you’ve got to get traditional Comcast or DirectTV. Or do something less than legal

Spend $20 on a Firestick, Google "Kodi" and follow the instructions. Now you have access to pretty much every live sporting event on the planet.
Enjoy.

Do not watch on a regular laptop. Only watch via chrome book or some other obscure OS. I’m sure it’s riddled with computer diseases

People are wanting something for nothing. They proclaim they’re die hard fans, but won’t pay to watch the games.

At least the crappy Masn app now allows Xfinity... I was able to stream spring training games away from my home on mobile network.

This is a whack take. I buy merch, have a flex package, food and drink at the stadium. I shouldn't have to pay to watch them play on TV. That's what advertising is for.

Yeah. I think that’s the only way.

I don’t mind paying I just don’t want to have to buy a cable package and the Verizon option isn’t available in my area.
CheapJankMtG OP t1_jdvjwt2 wrote
I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

$70 a month for direct tv with the sports package. That’s unreasonable for someone that doesn’t watch live TV and buys $100 streaming services a month. I just want to watch the games. I would buy a just MASN app or streaming package. I just don’t want to pay for something I won’t use.
CheapJankMtG OP t1_jdvkbc7 wrote
MLB is blocked on it.
TeachGullible t1_jdvkfhc wrote
Entirely reasonable. I am not saying you have to mind paying. I am saying you shouldn't have to. This guy stating you're not a diehard fan unless you pay for a masn sub is just a stupid take.

I would totally buy the MLB package online if they didn't blackout local games. But they do so I stream them on sketchy sites for free, simple as that. You cannot buy access to MASN without buying a cable package from Comcast and that's BS. Mlb needs to get with the times.
I am absolutely not buying a cable package just for MASN. Not going back to cable, that's never happening.
I have a friend that entirely stopped watching the Os when they took games off WJZ on Sundays. They're really screwing over their fan base.

You’re not much of a fan if you’re unwilling to pay to see their games.

I’m a fan, but not enough of a fan to pay to watch their games on 📺. /S
